NoFollow is a HTML tag you can place on a link to tell search engines not to follow that link. The link will not pass any link juice to your site. The only benefit of the link will be the traffic it sends.
Note: Some larger sites such as wikipedia automatically make their links nofollow.
How to NoFollow Properly
Normal Link
<a href="http://www.link.com">Anchor Text</a>
NoFollow Link
<a href="http://www.link.com" rel="nofollow">Anchor Text</a>
Aaron Wall, from SEOBook has a Firefox plugin called SEO for Firefox that will show you which links are nofollow when your browsing the Internet. This will stop the madness of viewing the source code of every webpage your link is on.

Website security is often one of the most overlooked aspects of an e-commerce website. This is also true in the brick and mortar store environment. You are more likely to make a purchase from a store/company you feel safe shopping with. If you were purchasing a piece of clothing, but didn't have time to try it on, you would be more likely to make that purchase at a store whose return policy is clearly displayed. http://contemedia.com/blog/2008/02/22/showing-credibility-trust-will-equ...

Brand yourself, not Ebay! In the beginning Ebay was used by the average person looking to get rid of that item that has been lingering around the house for a while. A nice fit, if you think about it. Ebay supplied a great tool allowing for the average computer user to post their products and start making money online from home!Full Entry Why the Ebay Strike shouldn’t have happened!
